Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan has officially signed regulations today for the rollout of Local Community Safety Partnerships across all 36 local authority areas
These new partnerships replace the old Joint Policing Committees and bring together a number of stakeholders.
The groups will be made up of An Garda Síochána, HSE & Tusla, local residents & community reps, youth & education groups, older persons and local businesses along with local politicians.
Minister Niamh Smyth is welcoming today’s announcement for Cavan and Monaghan, she said we are moving towards a more collaborative, responsive, and locally driven approach to community safety.
Minister Smyth says these groups offer an opportunity, adding it’s not just about policing, it’s about improving how people feel in their community.
